Hasn’t threads not even turned on activitypub support yet?

But of course, such based individuals will never be billionaires. Specifically because their basedness precludes them from being psychopathic enough to commit the kind of cutthroat, violent exploitation of tens of thousands of workers’ labor inherently necessary to amass such wealth.

The fact that you have to opt out of such an invasive overreach of privacy is asinine and should not be supported.

then it’s all fun and games till you’ve been fucking with it for 3 hours and you get to folder.old.old.old.old.old

Oh yeah that’s a good idea too. Sure any one client device will be limited to 1g but your NAS could use a super cheap multi-port ethernet card to get 2 or 4g bonded link speeds so it can serve multiple devices at full speed.

Yup. Same age, same design, same failures… and array rebuilds are super intense workloads that often force a lot of random reads and run the drive at 100% load for many hours.

2.5 is still really new in the networking space and nobody has hit economies of scale yet. I very much also want to build out my home LAN to be entirely 2.5g compatible since 1g is limiting for my NAS use case (video storage), 10g is overkill and not supported by my client devices, and I only need 16/24 ports. but good God the hardware just isn’t reasonable yet.

You pretty much have to bite the bullet if you really want 2.5 right now. What might honestly be worthwhile is finding a used enterprise 1g switch with the number of ports you need, and will still be “enough”, as those can be had for only a couple hundred dollars. Sit on that for 2-3 years until the 2.5g and 5g hardware market starts to fill out and you can decide how badly you need 2.5g then

Really. Anything branded from Samsung or Crucial(Micron) is going to be fine. They are the top producers of NAND, produce high quality products, and stand behind warranties. But you are gonna pay out the nose for the privilege of enterprise grade hardware.

You might just be buying lower quality consumer SSD’s though, since even they should be able to handle a surprising amount of abuse.

If I had a dollar for every time rebuilding a RAID array after one failed drive caused a second drive failure in the array in less than 24 hours… I’d probably buy groceries for a week.

…I thought you just said you’re running OwnCloud?

Yeah I’ve got 141 messages waiting on my lemmy account that I can’t be bothered to clear

I feel obligated to respond to most if not all of them because of lemmy’s need for content, and I just don’t wanna. But I also don’t want to just clear them entirely. Some are dating back multiple months…

FYI, read this.

how do you convince someone that bitter coffee is not good coffee?

That’s the neat part; you don’t.

Jpg at 70% will lose a significant amount of detail. It is a “lossy” format, you cant judt compress data for nothing.

AVIF is significantly more efficient than jpeg, so it loses less image data for higher compression (smaller file sizes).

JXL supports both lossy and lossless compression, and is supposed to be more efficient yet over AVIF. However it’s got proprietary all over it because Google et al. For thst alone I would shy away from JXL and go AVIF.

I’ve switched almost exclusively to using RustDesk these days for anything outside of my LAN, and have had zero problems with it running on barebones machines, zero monitor connected. It’s open source!

If you’re wanting to use the windows built in RDP, there apparently is a DLL wrapper that enables the RDP server on Home installations. See github. I haven’t had to use it though because my machines are all, well, “legal” copies of 10 or 11 pro, so i cant speak to whether it works or not.

There’s no such thing as overkill, only extra overhead to do more things with. Hell, if you found yourself with a ton of excess resources and good cooling, you could run a distributed computing project like BOINC on some of the spare cores and help out some scientists.

You wouldn’t see much of a bump in CPU performance, 6cores to 8 cores with a 200mhz clock speed improvement isn’t ground breaking.

Going to 8gb of memory will give caching benefits.

But… That’s all well and good. However. What I found the most beneficial on a OPi 5, and the entire reason I bought it over other boards, is the onboard NVME m.2 slot. Yes, the orange pi 5 can support 2230 and 2242 M.2 NVME drives at PCIe3.0x1 speeds, and it makes a WORLD of difference in performance. Like you would not even believe how fast compiling and installing software becomes when it’s not bottlenecked by the ~500 iops an SD card can struggle through. SD cards are ungodly slow, and OS level writes tend to kill them every few months (they’re not designed to handle that kind of work). Even the cheapest aliexpress M.2 drives, which I bought a 512gb KingSpec one for like $16, blow SD cards out of the water, and will last for YEARS with a typical pi’s workload compared to the few-months of an SD card. Plus they’re big enough to even do a bit of file hosting on.

Ubisoft does the Ubisoft thing - nothing new under the sun.

Refund, refund, refund. The only single thing they will ever care about is the $.

Hmm. Interesting.

Well just don’t ask a Pentium processor for it either…

Why’s it always end up being fucking ads?

I hate late stage capitalism. I want off Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride.
